Flash forward


There is always a moment in the warmup when Bill places the sheet for the next set upside down hanging on the sign board right in front of the lane. It's usually around that time that the warmup is getting a little boring and that little sheet piques our interest. It's an exciting time, if you think about it. What is the next set? Is it distance? IM? Will the intervals kill us, or will we exhale in relief? It's like a mini-present that you get to unwrap every day. Imagine that much fun at 6:40am in the morning. You may disagree, but I think it's true: we all have that anticipation. As I was pushing off for another 50 backstroke today during the warmup I saw IW glance up at the sheet, looking (but not wanting to see) what we might be in for. He didn't see it, but the look was priceless. And then we got the sheet.

Here goes:

4 x 50 count strokes free
4 x 50 back/breast
4 x 50 drill
4 x 50 count strokes free
3 x (4 x 25) on :30 going:
25 sprint
25 stroke
25 underwater swim
25 easy
400 pull
3 x 150 fast free on 4:15
3 x 150 IM no free on 4:45
3 x 150 fast free on 4:10

Nice job, BB and IW. Bill was having some issues with his C-Drive today which oddly enough made him early to practice. I wonder what time he will get to practice if we give him a flash drive? Consider.
